According to multiple visits to the Personalized Spot Crime daily report emails, we in Delaware Neighborhood enjoy a low crime rate. Our PAR Officer Jacob Boomgaarden has been a great help in policing our neighborhood and we congratulate him for a recent Life Saving Award. We also have a great little school and now we have an association to foster a wonderful neighborhood. Our Facebook page has almost 300 members and we have an excellent leader in Kevin Evans, our president.
Our meetings accomplish the tasks in an efficient manner and as of last meeting will include a carry-in dinner at future meetings. We have participated with Rountree in clean ups, had a successful ice cream social, promoted the food bank at Delaware school, made residents aware of our association through multiple signs gracing the landscape of our neighborhood and our own T-shirts “Ask me about my DNA” on the front and on the back, Delaware Neighborhood Association.
Within the neighborhood there are residents opening up their homes and yards for neighborly get-togethers, and open houses. We had a support group for the Bass Pro Marathon. We are supportive of the Delaware Neighborhood Community Garden at 1538 E. Stanford. Our residents will even track down that lost dog or cat.
We anticipate further awareness of our association as we have planned such activities as Summer Solstice Party in June, Ice Cream Social in July and Back To School event in August.
Our concerns look to the future with a robust proposal to the City for increased sidewalks, concern for property values for both landlords and home-owners. and stepped up surveillance of traffic.
We have the right DNA-Delaware Neighborhood Association!
